Barge Tote

SKU 07053-18WX

Description

The American tote bag had humble beginnings as a working manís utensil to unload ice and coal barges. They had to be plenty tough to hold up under the everyday rigors of this profession. Our Barge Tote is over-constructed with this same toughness and quality in mind. We use vintage 18oz. wax treated duck as the foundation for our tote. Add a double bottom, handles made of 4 layers of fabric and riveted stress points and the result is a bag that would make turn-of-the-century canvas craftsmen proud. Use professionally or recreationally.

Caring for Martexin™ Original Wax Duck Canvas

Martexin Original Wax Duck Canvas is a highly specialized textile product that precludes normal cleaning. Just as you wouldnít wash a leather product, such as shoes, gloves, or jackets, you shouldn't machine wash or dry clean your wax duck product. Wax fabrics have been successfully used for many years without washing. A periodic cleaning with a hose and damp cloth is all thatís needed.
